Hi @ZJRODGERS You need to feed BuiltInParameter currently your feeding string to it. Have a look at this explanation by @Konrad_K_Sobon. > [@How to set Viewport Type?](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/how-to-set-viewport-type/7200/8): > > @Greg_McDowell, no Python needed. We can set the appropriate parameter by using the BuiltInParameter nodes from Archi-lab. @Arno_De_Lange, This should do the trick: Ps. The issue with the OOTB parameter nodes are as stated above. There are multiple parameters with the same name, and they are stored in a ParameterSet so an unordered collection. Please use BIP to get the “right” parameter every time. ---
